[Hook] (x2) Who do you wanna be when you look in the mirror Chasing after your dreams hoping that they get nearer Jump shot, crack rock, go to school, hit the block We just tryna fulfill our dreams before the clock stop [Verse 1] Single mother doing the impossible Her raising a man is not probable Seed sees the struggle so he hustle Tryna make sense of a broken puzzle Missing pieces, swiping visas, living fast f** a job, crack a card, easy cash You gon end up like your fathers a**, (oh well) Throw your wishes down the well, cause this is hell Mind been in a cell, the hood it been a jail I never seen success but i know I can't fail Play ball that's what you luv, right sh** I would but I failed off the team cause I couldn't write Dyslexic too every word got me questioning my sight God why you leave me in this ring with Satan to fight He a heavyweight can't you see that I'm too light Angels get made every day in the hood, the only way we take flight Even when the suns up it's still dark, no light Two swollen eyes I'm losing my sight What's wrong or right what's real or fake It's been 18 rounds I gained a couple pounds what's my fate [Hook] (x2) Who do you wanna be when you look in the mirror Chasing after your dreams hoping that they get nearer Jump shot, crack rock, go to school, hit the block We just tryna fulfill our dreams before the clock stop [Verse 2] You don't know the pain, I'm feeling like bane I'm trapped inside a prison, and I'm losing my vision Chasing after dreams on the astral plane But still you don't listen,so I'll just remain hidden Kick in the door, success wouldn't let me in You can't hold me back anymore, demons wouldn't let me win Till I took them to the gym, made em do cardio till their hearts burst What's worse, feeling like the inside of a hearse Or only being free when you speak a verse So it's sorta like a mental strike slash curse I disperse the worst stories, am I heard The hunger and thirst for wanting to be a bird Free to fly, f** your doubt I could touch a cloud Until then I float in smoke of the lovely loud I aspire to be higher than satellites and don't mention my appetite My written are cla**ified, until I fulfill my dreams I'm not satisfied [Hook] (x2) Who do you wanna be when you look in the mirror Chasing after your dreams hoping that they get nearer Jump shot, crack rock, go to school, hit the block We just tryna fulfill our dreams before the clock stop
